No one: Chat GPT to the worst person you know: Hey—congrats. You just gave yourself a main character moment for the week. That’s pretty special. Not everyone can turn mediocrity and misplaced confidence into a performance art piece, but you? You do it effortlessly. Keep shining.
Absolutist thinking: “They’re 90% aligned with my beliefs but neutral/silent/disagree with 10%—they’re cancelled.” “My therapist hung a small rainbow flag by their door, so I stopped going.” “A writer who helped me through a dark time liked a problematic post. I blocked them.”

The comments just further demonstrate how little men know about women’s bodies (ie confusing ovulation with menstruation) which is hard proof that men shouldn’t make policy decisions about women’s bodies thx
We can even smell it 😂
Maybe you don’t need another self-help book, face mask, or whispery app telling you to “just breathe.” Maybe you need to move your body. To connect with safe people. To laugh—the whole body kind. You don’t need another fake-deep quote. Just something that actually fucking works.
Pathological demand avoidance is personality functioning related to compliance being prioritized over love and safety during critical developmental periods in childhood and early adulthood. It is common for people growing up with autism, but is not a symptom of autism itself.

One day you’re young; the next you’re referencing Leave It To Beaver and having to explain context the youth
For all the people who slam women as having no value when they get older...do you tell your own Mother and Grandma how they aren't worth anything cause they don't give men boners anymore? Make sure you do, since you are so adamant about this
I was hospitalized as a child with an illness that near-destroyed my hearing and vestibular nerves, and later had an unrelated brain tumor that further destroyed my hearing and vestibular nerves. I have about 30% of my hearing and 10% of my balance. I lipread, and feel drunk 24/7

How trauma became trendy: A mix of psychological discourse becoming mainstream, “concept creep,” tech + social media + the commodification of mental health, attention economies, algorithms favoring non-nuanced content, individualism and erosion of traditional sources of identity.
Nobody wants to talk about how vulnerable highly agreeable women are, especially between the ages of about 18 to 25. Literally out there trying to be good people and fit in and get led down every kind of dark alley.
It’s always clear which psychologists have no knowledge of Motivational Interviewing They think they’re busting myths but they’re just alienating those who need to hear a msg the most (and preaching to an echo chamber) You’re an expert but don’t assume you can persuade or lead.
I hate our “Nose Dive” culture I’ve held back from telling Uber drivers something important and safety-related because I didn’t want to hint they’d get a low rating and risk them tanking mine. I stayed silent when I shouldn’t have. A uniquely modern problem that will only worsen
